<br>
Chef Tam</a>'s Underground Cafe is set to open in the old Imagine space on January 28th. <br>
<br>
Owner Tamra Eddy chose that date because it's her late father's birthday. Her father was a chef, her grandfather a bbq pitmaster, her grandmother a baker. "It's in me," she says. <br>
<br>
Underground Cafe will serve Southern classics with a gourmet flair, says Eddy. We're talking fried ribs, mac and cheese, tacos, catfish, jerk shrimp, and peach cobbler nachos (!).<br>
<br>
As for the name of the cafe, Eddy says initially she was going to open in a space with an underground kitchen. The name stuck, she says, because she recognized how accurate it is. "[My talent as a chef] has been hidden so long. It works perfectly for me." <br>
<br>
Eddy, who was the chef at the Lighthouse, began looking for a space a couple months ago. She reached out online and was led to the Imagine space. She's currently giving the restaurant a good scrubbing and plans to hang old black-and-white images of her family to complete the homey feel. <br>

<br>
<br>
A press release was issued today that the space that once housed Cosmic Coconut in East Memphis will now be a new restaurant called <a href="https://www.thecitysilo.com/" target="_blank">City Silo Table & Pantry</a>.<br>
<br>
The restaurant is set to open January 14th. <br>
<br>
From the release: <br>
<br>
<blockquote>
City Silo Table & Pantry will offer re-imagined comfort food and drinks that replicate familiar textures and flavors with wholesome, clean ingredients. Blending characteristics from traditional dining concepts – the café and market, the juice stand, the coffee house and the bistro – City Silo’s modern, light and airy space will serve as a spot to gather, to grab quick takeaway or to sit and enjoy. <br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
“Cosmic Coconut evolved into City Silo,” said Scott Tashie, Owner of City Silo, I Love Juice Bar in Midtown and the future I Love Juice Bar in Crosstown. “Cosmic Coconut created the need and expectation for creative, clean eating in Memphis. City Silo expands on that expectation and will offer all the favorites of its predecessor with the addition of egg, dairy and chicken options to create a more inclusive experience.” <br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
But, says a rep, don't count out Cosmic Coconut just yet. The Cosmic Coconut truck is going on hiatus through the winter but may return, and "there will be pops / references to Cosmic Coconut included in City Silo."<br>
<br>
Cosmic Coconut originally opened in 2011 and was an all-vegan juice bar with a small food menu. <br>
<br>
Scott Tashie, along with partners (including the ubiquitous Taylor Berger), took over in 2012. Tashie opened Memphis' first I Love Juice Bar in 2015. A second I Love Juice Bar is set to open next year in the new Crosstown Concourse. <br>
<br>
<br>
Full release below: <br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<b>Introducing City Silo Table & Pantry, <br>
Located in the Former Cosmic Coconut Space</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Memphis, TN (January 14, 2017): City Silo Table & Pantry will offer re-imagined comfort food and drinks that replicate familiar textures and flavors with wholesome, clean ingredients. Blending characteristics from traditional dining concepts – the café and market, the juice stand, the coffee house and the bistro – City Silo’s modern, light and airy space will serve as a spot to gather, to grab quick takeaway or to sit and enjoy. City Silo will host its grand opening on Saturday, January 14th, 2017. <br>
<br>
Located in the former Cosmic Coconut space plus the adjacent unit, City Silo will encompass a total 2600 square feet, feature a full kitchen and provide a seating capacity of close to 50. Striving to create an inclusive dining experience that appeals to different tastes and diet needs, City Silo will now offer egg, dairy and humanely-raised chicken options while continuing to offer an extensive plant-based menu.<br>
<br>
“Cosmic Coconut evolved into City Silo,” said Scott Tashie, Owner of City Silo, I Love Juice Bar in Midtown and the future I Love Juice Bar in Crosstown. “Cosmic Coconut created the need and expectation for creative, clean eating in Memphis. City Silo expands on that expectation and will offer all the favorites of its predecessor with the addition of egg, dairy and chicken options to create a more inclusive experience.” <br>
<br>
Anchored by a 10-foot farm table, City Silo lives in a sunshine-filled space with whitewashed and herringboned-inspired, wood paneled walls that create a welcoming, yet stylish environment. Custom, bar tops and tables made with Woodland tree products paired with sleek, metal seating combines industrial rustic and mid-century influences for a signature design. Coolers with grab-and-go, plus a retail area with small batch chocolates, jams, fermented vegetables, organic pastas, flours and grains will pay homage to European-style markets. City Silo will be overwhelmingly organic and local whenever possible. <br>
<br>
Executive Chef, Will Byrd developed the menu in conjunction with Tashie. Breakfast, snacks, salads, sandwiches, grain bowls/wraps, and build-your-own burgers will comprise the menu. A kids’ menu will also be available. Additionally, City Silo will feature many exclusive drink options: kombucha via kegs for kombucha cocktails; superfood wellness lattes; familiar fresh, cold-pressed juices and smoothies; a creative coffee / espresso menu and beer / wine starting later in 2017. Juice cleanses will continue to be offered. Prices range from $6 - $15.<br>
<br>
City Silo Table & Pantry is located at 5101 Sanderlin Center and phone is: 901.729.7687. It will be open Monday – Saturday, 7am to 8pm, starting January 14, 2017. Visit www.thecitysilo.com or follow City Silo on Facebook: @citysilo and Instagram: @citysilo for continued updates.

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 15:18:00 -0600Memphis FlyerLong Road Cider Opening this Weekendhttp://www.memphisflyer.com/HungryMemphis/archives/2016/12/01/long-road-cider-opening-this-weekend

<br>
Scott Patterson worked in marketing. Then he decided he didn't want to work behind a desk for the rest of his life. He had done some home beer brewing and had branched off into making cider. <br>
<br>
All of this to say that that long road has led to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LongRoadCider/" target="_blank">Long Road Cider Co.</a>, which is holding its <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1145165328938346/?notif_t=plan_edited&notif_id=1480438631788972" target="_blank">grand opening</a> this weekend. <br>
<br>
The cidery is located in Barretville, about half an hour away, near Millington. <br>
<br>
Long Road sells small-batch ciders. Patterson describes them as dryer than what one might associate with a hard cider like Mike's or Angry Orchard. And, he likes to experiment with ingredients. He's used persimmons, muscadines, peaches, pears, and apricots. <br>
<br>
There's the Rhonissippi, which uses cotes du Rhone wine yeast, and the Ginger Was Hot! (a Gilligan's Island reference) with ginger root. Patterson ferments some of his ciders in bourbon barrels, others he finishes off in the bottle, known as the Methode Champenoise. <br>
<br>
Long Road offers non-alcoholic ciders as well, including a holiday spice cider. <br>
<br>
<br>
Patterson says that brewing beer is "proactive," while making cider is reactive. Fermentation can take a lot of time — three months to complete 50 gallons, according to Patterson. <br>
<br>
Long Road Cider is available on tap at Miss Cordelia's, the Rec Room, Cash Saver, and Lucchesi's Beer Garden. <br>
<br>
The grand opening is Friday from 4 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. Expect cider-iffic shandys, cocktails, and sangrias. <br>
<br>
Cider is available in both kegs and bottles. Long Road will be open Thursday and Friday, 4 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, noon to 9 p.m., with dock sales Monday through Wednesday (call first: 352-0962). <br>

<br>
Vincent Hale will man the bar, and there will be craft cocktails and nicer bottles of wine. <br>
<br>
Dodici is open Friday and Saturday, starting at 6 p.m. The bar can be rented out for private parties. <br>

<br>
Raiford's Hollywood Disco is being transformed into a restaurant space. <br>
<br>
The inside is being totally gutted. Three levels of ceilings have been removed. Sheetrock walls have been removed to unveil windows that have then been replaced. <br>
<br>
<br>
The plumbing will be replaced and the patio will be enclosed. <br>
<br>
The project is set to be finished by February and the property is being leased by Loeb. <br>

<a href="http://www.schweinehaus.com/" target="_blank"><br>
Schweinehaus</a> is now Schweinehaus BBQ. <br>
<br>
The changeover in menu from German-fare to full-on barbecue began two weeks ago, says owner David Walker. <br>
<br>
"German food was a tough sell," Walker says. "And to be honest, it wasn't a passion of mine. Barbecue is."<br>
<br>
For a more barbecue ambience, Walker says they're bringing in neon signs, maybe some decorative pigs. But the place will still be a German beer hall. "It fits pretty well, believe or not," he says. <br>
<br>
As for the menu, Walker says Sweinehaus' ribs "stack up to some of the best in the city." They offer pulled pork and chicken, brisket, and smoked turkey breasts. German holdovers include the pretzels and the chicken schnitzel. <br>

Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:54:00 -0600Memphis FlyerPizzaRev Opening in Memphishttp://www.memphisflyer.com/HungryMemphis/archives/2016/11/04/pizzarev-opening-in-memphis

<a href="http://pizzarev.com/" target="_blank">PizzaRev</a>, a craft your own pizza franchise, will open its first location in December in East Memphis. <br>
<br>
Two more, both on Germantown Parkway, will open in early 2017. <br>
<br>
These locations will be owned by Robby Stewart and Andres Bolivar, who own the area Steak 'n Shake. <br>
<br>
According to Stewart, whose Southern Restaurant Holdings runs several franchises in Tennessee and Georgia, they were looking to branch out with another brand. They had the burgers and pizza made sense. They also considered Mexican franchises and other pizza restaurants before deciding on Pizza Rev. <br>
<br>
"We liked what we saw," says Stewart of PizzaRev. <br>
<br>
PizzaRev was founded in Los Angeles in 2012. It has since expanded to 150 franchises. <br>
<br>
One of the draws of Pizza Rev, Stewart says, is its potential for a national footprint. Others include the restaurant's commitment to organic ingredients and the build-your-own approach. <br>
<br>
<br>
Stewart says the build-your-own concept isn't a trend but a change in the restaurant industry. It makes the experience interactive for the customer, he adds, noting that a diner could build a pizza that is 700 calories if he so desired, making a healthier choice as well. <br>
<br>
While Stewart is confident in PizzaRev, he says the decision to open three locations quickly was about real estate. <br>
<br>
"In my business, some [restaurants] do well, some don't. If we find the best space, we'll go ahead. We do not bypass great real estate." <br>

<span id="tempInsert" class="tempInsertLoader pulse"></span>Dozens of workers buzzed around the Kroger's new store on Union Tuesday morning, readying the store for its official opening on Wednesday at 6 a.m.<br>
<br>
The new store will have a Corky's BBQ, Murray's Cheese Shop, a New-York-style sandwich shop, a Pan Asian Sushi Bar, a juice bar, pharmacy, a growler station, Starbucks, and more. <br>
<br>
Gone are the days of squeezing through those narrow aisles. The new store is about 60,00 square feet, nearly double the size of the previous Union Kroger. Also, Kroger expanded its parking lot, situated just east of the store's front door. <br>

http://www.memphisflyer.com/HungryMemphis/archives/2016/10/27/a-chubby-vegetarian-dinner-partySusan Ellis
<img src="http://media2.fdncms.com/memphisflyer/imager/u/blog/5016826/img_2543.jpg" width="580" height="580" />
Last Saturday, I invited Flyer friends Amy Lawrence and Justin Fox Burks, aka the <a href="http://chubbyvegetarian.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Chubby Vegetarian</a>, to dinner. Pam and Bianca were there too. <br>
<br>
The plan was that I would cook from TCV's newest cookbook, <a href="http://chubbyvegetarian.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Chubby Vegetarian</a>. (I was later told that cooking for the cookbook author from the cookbook author's cookbook is weird for the cookbook author, so don't do this.)<br>
<br>
For starters, the Figs in a Blanket (along with some vegan pigs in a blanket for Bianca). <br>
<br>
Made with figs, cheese, walnuts, and crescent rolls. This was maybe my favorite dish ... sweet, salty, crunchy, cheesy and easy to put together. A surprise! <br>
<br>
Next up, the Bagna Cauda Smashed Chickpea Dip ... <br>
Ain't gonna lie, I just googled "Bagna Cauda," which means hot bath. I think that's in reference to the wine it's cooked in? Also, very good. I made this early in the day and put it in the fridge. I'm wondering, if it might have been even better warm. <br>
<br>
This is the Fresh Cucumber Noodles with Cashews and Mints. Light and refreshing. The noodles are made in a zoodler or whatever those things are called. <br>
<br>
This is the main event ... the Italian-style Eggplant Sausages. <br>
These are made with peeled Japanese eggplants that are marinated, put on a grill pan, and topped with sauteed potatoes and onions and peppers. Oh boy! <br>
<br>
One thing I began to appreciate as I was putting all this stuff together is how very artful TCV is with spices. Everything smelled so good even before it hit the stove and no being pummeled with cumin. <br>
<br>
Finally, the Frozen Peanut Butter and Banana Pie ... <br>
This is speckled with dates and has a peanut crust. This one is quick and easy to put together. <br>
<br>
I consider myself to be a mostly-okay, sometimes disappointing, sometimes pan-ruining cook, but I wasn't intimidated in the least by these approachable dishes. <br>
<br>
TCV is having a booksigning Thursday, October 27th at 6:30 p.m. There will be snacks, so I suggest y'all go. And I suggest you pick up the book. <br>
<br>
There's also a book release party at the Second Line on November 6, 5-7:30 p.m.<br>

Gary Cluck traveled a lot for his job, and while on the road, he got hooked on good coffee. He joined some clubs, took some classes. Then, he bought his own roaster. He began giving away bags to family and friends, who urged him, "You need to get this to people," he says. <br>
<br>
And so he did. He recently launched <a href="http://nachoordinarycoffee.com/" target="_blank">Nacho Ordinary Coffee</a>, which sells small-batch coffees online for about $14 per bag. <br>
<br>
Nacho is the family dog. "She's such a sweetheart," Cluck says. "She's not your typical chihuahua."<br>
<br>
Cluck says the coffees he offers tend to be medium roast. He will typically offer two coffees from two different countries and never blends. <br>

<br>
<br>
<a href="http://crosstownarts.org/" target="_blank">Crosstown Arts</a> has announced that it will be opening a cafe in the Crosstown Concourse. It will primarily serve Crosstown Arts staff and artists participating in the organization's residency program but will be open to the public. <br>
<br>
While the plans are subject to change as the project develops, the idea now is that the cafe will serve "plant-based" meals, though there will be some meat options. <br>
<br>
From the press release: <br>
<br>
<blockquote>
Crosstown Arts will operate a plant-based cafe featuring innovative, health-conscious, and affordable meals inside its contemporary arts center inside Crosstown Concourse. Scheduled to open in the summer of 2017, the cafe will prepare meals for both Crosstown Arts’ multidisciplinary artist residency program and the general public. <br>
<br>
Rather than feature a fixed menu, the cafe’s chef will offer a flexible, simple menu for each meal of the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), depending on what is in season and available from local growers. Menus will be posted weekly each Sunday.<br>
<br>
The cafe will provide daily meals to Crosstown Arts’ resident artists, who will dine, family-style, at a communal table inside the cafe, but the general public are also invited to dine in. The cafe will be open Monday through Friday and for brunch on Saturday. It will be closed on Saturday evenings and all day on Sunday.
</blockquote>
By my count, this is the sixth food or drink venue scheduled to open in the Crosstown Concourse. <br>
<br>
I Love Juice Bar announced last week that it would be opening its second location at Crosstown. The others are the Ktichen-related Next Door, the vegetarian restaurant Mama Gaia, French Truck coffee, and Crosstown Brewing Co. <br>

<br>
An all-organic vegetarian restaurant will open in the Crosstown Concourse, it was announced this morning. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://mamagaia.net/" target="_blank">Mama Gaia</a> ("Mother Earth") will feature pitas, quinoa bowls, salads, and soups as well as options for the kids. <br>
<br>
Cru and Philipp von Holtzendorff-Fehling, along with two partners, are opening the restaurant. Cru, a professionally trained chef, will lead the kitchen. <br>
<br>
Mama Gaia is guided by three principles: health consciousness, ethical obligation, and environmental stewardship. <br>
<br>
From the press release: <br>
<br>
<blockquote>
“Our goal is to inspire people to be more conscious about what they are eating and encourage them to incorporate high-quality, organic foods into their regular diet to promote healthy living and a sustainable environment,” Philipp said. “Right now, we are focusing all our efforts on building our brand with this Crosstown location, but we hope to make it an emerging trend for future generations.”
</blockquote>

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Cafe-1912-439403700130/" target="_blank">Cafe 1912</a> Tapas Wine Bar, an offshoot of Cafe 1912 which opened in early June, will change its name and focus starting next Tuesday, October 19th. <br>
<br>
Cafe 1912 Tapas Wine Bar, says owner Glenn Hays, "never had an identity." <br>
<br>
When the restaurant reopens on Tuesday, it will be Peabody Point Cafe. The menu will be composed of large dinner salads (nicoise, lyonnaise) and pasta dishes (lasagne, mac and cheese). There will be some dishes for children as well, says Hays. <br>
<br>
Prices run from $8-$10. <br>
<br>
The decor will remain the same. The cocktail list and wine list will be carried over from tapas bar as well. <br>
<br>
• October 17-21 is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/565832243627900/" target="_blank">Memphis Seafood Week</a>. <br>
<br>
From the event page: <br>
<br>
<blockquote>
With October being National Seafood Month it was only right to highlight our seafood partner restaurants for Memphis Seafood Week 2016. Eating healthy is a good way to keep a healthy heart. The national non-profit, Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) is doing its part by building a coalition of community leaders, restaurant owners, and other influencers that will help spread the message of the health benefits that come along with consuming seafood.
</blockquote>
<br>
Participating restaurants include DejaVu, Sekisui, Flying Fish, Mardi Gras, and others. <br>
<br>
• The first-ever <a href="https://www.porterleath.org/beans-and-bluegrass" target="_blank">King Cotton Beans and Bluegrass Festival</a> is this Sunday at the Landers Center, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.<br>
<br>
It's a Ozark-themed festival with mountain music from Tennessee Ripple and bean-themed activities, including bean races (no clue!) and a bean bag toss. <br>
<br>
There will be a pinto-bean cooking contest and a cornbread cooking contest, as well. <br>
<br>

<i>Updated: According to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Cozy-Corner-BBQ-113058262059663/" target="_blank">Cozy Corner Facebook page</a>, they are now opening on Tuesday. </i><a href="http://www.cozycornerbbq.com/" target="_blank"><br>
<br>
Cozy Corner</a> is set to reopen in its original location tomorrow. It will be in a soft-opening phase for a two-week period, with a grand opening set tentatively for October 22nd. <br>
<br>
Bobby Bradley, grandson of Cozy Corner matriarch Desiree Robinson, says they need the soft-opening time to work out the kinks. <br>
<br>
Cozy Corner, at 745 N. Parkway, closed after a fire on January 8, 2015. In March of that year, the restaurant moved across the street to share space with Encore Cafe. It eventually took over the space. <br>
<br>
Both Bradley and Robinson say they are excited to be back in the old space, though Robinson notes she's no longer involved in the day-to-day operations. Bradley and his mother run the show, and says Robinson, "I let them." <br>

Imagine Vegan Cafe</a> announced last week on its <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ImagineVegan/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page that it is moving from its current location in November to a new space very close to where Imagine originally opened. <br>
<br>
The restaurant is moving east to 2158 Young in the same building where it opened, only a few doors down. <br>
<br>
From the announcement: <br>
<br>
<blockquote>
We're hoping to be up and running in the new location the first part of November, but until then we are still in our current location. We ask for everyone's patience as we journey into this new adventure. Also, look for our Go Fund Me that will be starting soon to raise money for our very own SOFT SERVE VEGAN ICE CREAM MACHINE!!!!!! Yes, you heard right! We'll keep you all updated as we move along. Thank you!

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 15:29:00 -0500Memphis FlyerA Visit to Zaka Bowlhttp://www.memphisflyer.com/HungryMemphis/archives/2016/09/29/a-visit-to-zaka-bowl
http://www.memphisflyer.com/HungryMemphis/archives/2016/09/29/a-visit-to-zaka-bowlSusan Ellis
<img src="http://media2.fdncms.com/memphisflyer/imager/u/blog/4953118/img_2449.jpg" width="580" height="478" />
Earlier this week, <a href="http://vegancrunk.blogspot.com/2016/09/bluff-city-vegan-eats-zaka-bowl.html" target="_blank">Bianca</a> and I were invited to check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zakabowl" target="_blank">Zaka Bowl</a>. <br>
<br>
Zaka Bowl is a build-your-own veggie bowl restaurant that is 100% vegan. There are no appetizers or desserts. <br>
<br>
The design, from the decor to the logo is spare, without frills — a visual nod to the menu with its emphasis on whole foods.
But don't equate this with boring or flavorless. Guests can choose such veggies as smoked portabella, an excellent roasted tofu, mustard herb cauliflower, lemon-garlic broccoli, and sesame eggplant to build on a base of either zucchini noodles, quinoa, wild rice, or spinach. Garnishes include charred corn, roasted beets, edamame, pineapple pico, and rosemary carrots. All this topped by sauces — creamy avocado, green tea vinaigrette, coconut curry, sriracha bbq, sesame soy vinaigrette, and Zaka sauce (a spicy mayo). <br>
<br>
There are two featured bowls, and the owner says he's thinking about creating more. I went with the Zaka Zen with the broccoli, tofu, eggplants, carrots, beets, and pico. I thought it sounded perfect for the recently cooled weather, and it was. Earthy with dashes of sweet from the pico and the beets, and totally filling. Try as I might, I couldn't quite finish the bowl. <br>
<br>
Bianca went the build your own route and chose quinoa, tofu, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, beets, carrots, and jicama slaw with the Zaka sauce. She also got a mango pineapple lemonade — very tart and very fresh!<br>
<br>
I have to say I'm sold on this concept — to eat well and simply with no loss of taste. <br>
<br>
Bowls top out at $11. <br>

According to Tony Westmoreland, it was a deal too good to pass up. <br>
<br>
Westmoreland, who owns <a href="http://alchemymemphis.com/" target="_blank">Alchemy</a> with other partners, has taken over ownership of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SportsJunctionMemphis/" target="_blank">Sports Junction</a> — starting tomorrow. A new name, he says, will be announced in 45 to 60 days. <br>
<br>
According to Westmoreland, he worked with the Sports Junction owner as a consultant about a year ago. He had recently checked in with the owner who told him he was increasingly busy with other projects … and one thing led to another. <br>
<br>
The hookahs and cigars will be going, Westmoreland says. There will be a new emphasis on draft beer, and the menu will be brought up a notch. He plans to add a patio to the front sometime in the spring. <br>
<br>
With the zoo and Levitt Shell across the street in mind, they'll be going for a more family vibe. And, they plan to pay respect to the old Hi-Tone by having music and comedy shows. <br>
<br>
Those 30 TVs and five projection screens? "They're there," says Westmoreland. "We're going to use them." <br>

<br>
They made it. They canned it up. And you've been drinking the shit out of it. <br>
<br>
Gonerfest 13 starts Thursday. For the last two years Memphis Made has created a special beer for the festival and bottled it. <br>
<br>
This year, they went cans. It's better for the beer and all that but more than anything — it's in a can, that sweaty little booze bullet melting right there in your hand. Ah, yes. <br>
<br>
The beer this year is a session IPA. IPA means it's (deliciously) bitter and this year's is pretty dry. "Session" means the beer is low alcohol. That means you can pound the hell out of 'em. <br>
<br>
Gonerfest XIII (the name of the beer) is available in finer establishments all over town. <br>
<br>
(Music is "Rat King" by NOTS)<br>

In 2015, Andy Wells and Christin Yates went to the Memphis Italian Festival. The next day, they went to brunch where the thought occurred to them: Why didn't Memphis have a brunch festival? <br>
<br>
"Memphis loves food, and Memphis loves festivals," says Yates. <br>
<br>
And, so the pair set about making that brunch festival happen and they did it <i>just four months later.</i> <br>
<br>
The second <a href="http://breakfest901.com/" target="_blank">BreakFest</a> is set for September 24th, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., at the Water Tower Pavilion on Broad. <br>
<br>
They describe the festival as sort of a mini BBQ Fest, with teams (both restaurants and "amateurs") competing in the categories Omelet, Bacon Lovers, Breakfast Sandwiches, and Anything Goes. There's also a Bloody Mary contest. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Food trucks will be serving a breakfast menu. French Truck will be there with free coffee, and Bedrock Eats is providing a waffle bar. <br>
<br>
There will be games as well and live music from Southern Avenue, Brennan Villines, and others. <br>
<br>
In addition, BreakFest has formed a partnership with the BikeSmith. The first 50 people who park their bikes at the BikeSmith will receive a glass and a free beer. <br>
<br>
Last year, they sold about 550 tickets. This year, they've upped the number to 750. Proceeds from the event go to the <a href="http://ubfm.net/" target="_blank">Urban Bicycle Food Ministry</a>. <br>
